Author Topic: On-line DCP creation Carl Hetherington Film Handler Posts: 93 From: York, North Yorkshire, England Registered: Jul 2012 posted 03-05-2014 05:22 AM                        Hi all, A couple of people have shown an interest in an on-line service to create small DCPs (e.g. for advertising, short films and so on). I've made a simple site (powered by DCP-o-matic) which is here: http://cine-matic.com/ The idea is basically DCP-o-matic online: you upload your content and download your DCP. If anyone would like to sign up and give it a try it will be free for beta testers (though I'll limit the number of users for now). Any comments are welcome.  |  IP: Logged Gavin Lewarne Master Film Handler Posts: 278 From: Plymouth, UK Registered: Aug 2009 posted 03-05-2014 06:23 AM                     fantasic idea carl, I have signed up already! I will pass it some JPGs to test in a while  |  IP: Logged Carl Hetherington Film Handler Posts: 93 From: York, North Yorkshire, England Registered: Jul 2012 posted 03-05-2014 06:47 AM                        Hi Gavin... Ah.. JPEGs won't work yet! Give me an hour...  |  IP: Logged Philip Jones Film Handler Posts: 90 From: England Registered: Dec 2011 posted 03-05-2014 10:43 AM                     Great idea! There's a nice article about DCP-O-Matic in the latest issue of Cinema Technology Magazine (online here: http://emag.cinematechnologymagazine.com/index.aspx?issue=issue25) you do need to register but it is free.  |  IP: Logged Carl Hetherington Film Handler Posts: 93 From: York, North Yorkshire, England Registered: Jul 2012 posted 03-05-2014 11:36 AM                        Gavin: stills should be ok now.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-05-2014 03:35 PM                        Philip - that link doesn't work, and if you go to the magazine's website and click on the link to register, it leads to an error message (For me at least!) Edit: If you go to: http://emag.cinematechnologymagazine.com/index.aspx Then click to read the latest issue, after a couple of pages it asks for a log-in and gives you a link to register....THAT one works!  |  IP: Logged Harold Hallikainen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 906 From: Denver, CO, USA Registered: Aug 2009 posted 03-05-2014 04:38 PM                        I really don't like these fancy magazine web pages. Do we REALLY need sound effects as we watch the page turn? Just show me a pdf! Meanwhile, the online DCP generator is indeed an interesting idea! It seems that upload and download times could get a bit long. USL creates a fair number of DCPs for internal use. We're considering offering a DCP creation service. Would that be of interest to anyone? THANKS!

It's past the time for editing the post now though  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 03-05-2014 05:47 PM                     Harold: Yes, that Pressmart Reader is a pain in the ass, but you can click 'Save' in the upper menu and choose 'download entire magazine' - this will create a local PDF version. - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Gavin Lewarne Master Film Handler Posts: 278 From: Plymouth, UK Registered: Aug 2009 posted 03-05-2014 07:04 PM                     Thanks carl. I will feed it some jpg's tomorrow and see what come out the other end and let you know!  |  IP: Logged
